Considering that capitlism is based on the gathering of resources and not the distribution of them by defintion there will always be poor. Considering also that Economies are built on monies flowing through them ie Consumer spending. your idea, although on the surface seems to have merit, does nothing but seal your own doom. Classical econmics tells us that yes in the long run the removal of the safety nets will balance itself out and we will once again have a stable economy. The problem is how long will that take? And how easy will it fall out of balance in todays modern world? Keynsian economics is based on the idea that I dont want life to suck today so lets attempt to control the economy, this idea led to social security, the fed, the chairman of the fed, welfare ect. The safety nets are there to help curb the downward spiral.


Hope
